Hi You do not require to take permission but you have to inform the employees of the same. Further, you cannot install CCTVs inside washrooms but only near entrances to monitor who is entering/ exiting. Inside washrooms would mean infringement of personal space.

Presently there are no central or state laws specifically drafted to cover installation of CC TV's in offices or work places as far as it is purely used for purpose of safety and security of office property

The answer depends on the location of premises. There are local laws in most of the states requiring an intimation to be field with various authorities like Police, Shops and Establishment authorities. In any case an intimation with Police should necessarily be filed. Also, a sign board intimating visitors that the premises is under CCTV Surveillance should be put up.
